February 23th, 1862

I had a very amazing day. The Commission is so much of what I dreamed. I love helping every single one of the people in there. There was one man who had a bloody arm that was very skinned up. I helped wash his arm and bandaged it with a wrap. There were many people, mostly men on stretcher, layout beds being cared by many women. The man I bandaged was named Robert. He got his arm stuck in the belt of some type of machine gun... I did not quite catch all of what he was explaining to me. There were lots of men, some needing serous medical help and others just being mended for.
There was one man.. I'm not sure what his name was but he was shot down by a confederate and was sent to the Commission. He was shot on his left shoulder, near his heart. One of the ladies that was near him, but not one of the ladies helping him, said they lost him and his heart beat stopped. Somehow, she explained, it started pulsing back up. Trained women were helping the man but they are still trying to get him to wake and go from there.
I pray for that man and his family. I hope the bullet did not send a shock to his heart and severely hurt him. Please mend that man to healing so he can go home to his family.
